Threat to Pak nukes 'real' due to greedy politicians

Says German expert

Pakistan has been claiming that its nuclear weapons are protected with some world class security measures in place, and that there is no fear of them falling into extremists hands, but according to a German expert the threat to Pakistan's nukes is real.
According to Jochen Hippler, a Pakistan expert at the University of Duisburg , it is very hard to keep the nuclear armaments safe, primarily due to the country's incompetent and corrupt political leaders.
Hippler said the Taliban may never succeed to overcome Pakistani military, however it's the greedy politicians because of whom the country will fail.
"The Taliban will never be able to conquer the country militarily. There is no way to do that. But on the other hand, the Pakistani state may just fail because of incompetence, lack of organisation, corruption and because the Pakistani political elite are incredibly incompetent and greedy," Hippler said.
